What Marvelous and Beautiful faces these were! They shall continue, and without EVER a doubt, remind me to FOREVER love America! I LOVE YOU, AMERICA, and, proudly I say!
This song inspired me to live my American dream! My family came here in 1982 as refugees! Now we are Americans! I am living as Americans. I achieved my goals as an American! I love this country!
So glad you and your family are here. Mine came to escape the Holocaust. It seems that immigrants appreciate this country more than people who are born here and keep protesting it. I'm really scared for our future.
Me too! Since the 1600s on my mother's English side. Both my grandparents of my father's French side were immigrants - one from Canada and one from France. They met here.
What an incredibly electric time. People in this country forget how blessed we ate to be here, flaws and all. This people in this video felt that way for sure.
My grandfather's dad and mom came here from Yugoslavia and before mine served in wwII. He was a proud wwII navy vet and always let off the loudest biggest fireworks at his house and on his street and off the top of his mailbox and since he loved this country thru him and that he served and not just for him but for his family he has and all of us god fearing and American freedom fighters:)
I want lots of neighbours A while back I thought my neighbour was an a hole. Then on Thanksgiving this song came out of his stereo then he was not an a hole
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.” - Ronald Reagan
It really burns me how so many people, particularly young Americans, can tear down and protest this country, just nitpicking for every flaw they can find. Foreigners and citizens have more knowledge and appreciation for the USA than people who were born here. It's a sad statement on modern generations.
We are fortunate to have you here as well. Thank you for bringing your talent, strength, and wisdom to this country. You help make this country what it is, and I really appreciate it.
AMERICA -US-, dont forget that you are ,among others , emerged from the European people.We have given you our best sons and dauthers. And we thank you for your generosity. But dont forget your Ancestors. In gratitude . I am an 77 Years old German.
Everyday i count my blessings that I was born and brought up in this terrific country. And to have served for this country, defending that flag and the principles it stands for. There is no other nation in the world like AMERICA. 🗽
I remember this song hit #1 on the charts back in the early 80s and it was always on the radio at a time when America was proud to welcome immigrants. Today, with the migrant crisis, our views have changed.
My grandmother learned English on the month long journey...only to be a nanny for 5yrs..only then tbe dream came true. No handouts no medical no foodstamps....just hardwork dont even get me started on grandpa.
Hand outs is our tax dollar … don’t let the rich convince you of free sht. Cubans got 50 years of free shit, OF OUR tax payer money to build what they have accumulated. And they vote right, the same way as the kkk. They hate socialism, unless it’s for them. You couldn’t make this shit up Welfare is there paid by the people! The rich get bailouts and tax breaks, so don’t be a fool with that mentality. It’s there for OUR PEOPLE and mental VETS

THIS is the America I love, a country that throws open its arms and says, "Come share out bounty and share with us your strength, talents, and wisdom." THIS is the America I will think of this July 4 and, more importantly, this Nov. 5.
Tolles Video, wundervolles Lied, faszinierende Stadt, eine große Nation, welcomen to america. Grüße aus good old Germany. Ich besuchte in 2023 mehrere Wochen New York und Boston. Ich verstehe jetzt, warum die Staten so eine große Anziehungskraft ausüben.
My grandfather came through Ellis island in 1914 from Greece. They said his last name was too long. He used the Greek name for grace for his last name. I live in Bakersfield, California
I have to think that he chose "grace" for his last name because he had it even though those who said his name was too long clearly didn't. You have clearly benefited from your grandfather's grace. Could you please tell me what the Greek word for grace is?
I think at 21 seconds it looks like my father when he was young! Great video..so much hope in america back then ..and now??? Hopefully we will return to hopefullness as a nation
This song goes to every race in every nation who made the pilgrimage in faith. In hopes of a better dream. For there familes. Not to rob the land but work the Lans. God bless our ancestors for fighting for what they believed in to make our nation free because all men are created equal.
Matter what you write about this song it’s touched your heart and inspired your soul. Remember that terrible Jan. 6th right before the last elections when hundreds of people marched on the nations Capitol and tried to hurt people. This song was a comfort in those dark hours.
after having the privilege, spending as a kid 3,5 years in Wichita Falls, Texas, incl attending the 5th grade at the Notre Dame Elementary School in the Fountain Park, I still, after over 35 years back in Germany consider the US as my home. Despite everything negative in this country today, it is, in my eyes one of the greatest.
💯 We were the first to arrive on this continent, and the other half of our ancestors are native to the land! This continent for ever be ours. Las Americas!
Regardless of our political differences, I am truly grateful to my parents for immigrating to this blessed and abundant nation that was created by immigrants. God did lay thy hand on thee when this nation was created.
Happy 4th of July America; We are fortunate- throughout our ups/downs. Never forget what it took to build 'America'; immigrants & slaves. Never forget the native peoples that our forefathers pushed to the fringes of society to establish America.
Two regrets of mine: 1. My ancestors came too early to have gone through the sacred space of Ellis Island. 2. I was born in he US, so I didn't have the privilege to choose to be an American, Make this our unofficial national anthem.
My late maternal grandfather came from Oslo, Norway after World War I when he was in the Norwegion Merchant Marine, he went to visit his aunt & uncle in the Bay Ridge section of the Borough of Brooklyn to visit, he worked for his uncle in his uncles bakery, learned English. He went home to visit his parents, when he go back to the U.S. at Ellis Island he had found out he was an illegal alien and he didn’t know till he was told. He had 2 options which were go back to Norway or go to Canada, he chose Canada where me met my late maternal grandmother in Niagara Falls, Ontarion,Canada. My maternal grandparents were immigrants, my late wife, oldest son & late daughter were immigrants from the Philippines in 1981. I met my late wife in 1975 when I was in the Navy. I married my late wife in 1979. We stayed married 31 years.
I want this America, again. Immigration is what has made our country beautiful. Let's get back to it!!! We've all been instrumental in the making of this country!! Let's not demantle all we have accomplished!!!!!!
We have never stopped. We welcome more than one million immigrants to the United States every year. But there is a limit to how many immigrants we can welcome at one time. Immigration has to be orderly and manageable. It has to be secure. Not just for Americans, but for the immigrants as well. How much good would we be doing the immigrants who come here if there are no jobs for them? If there isn't enough housing for them? If they immigrate away from poverty, only to land in poverty, what good have we done them? The only beneficiary in that case are the criminals who are eager to take advantage of immigrants and exploit them.
Except we have learned throughout the decades that rules and regulations need to be followed in order to keep this great country what it is. I welcome anyone who wants to start a new life here. Just do it the right way. If you have nothing to hide, it shouldn’t be a problem.
@@stacymar684 Good thing Native Americans didn't place these "limits" when we whites STOLE this land from them. This is BS. We have no more right to this land than anyone other than Native Americans do.
Note in all these clips how happy these people are. They're coming over on boats and ships, wanting to make a better life for themselves, but also improving their new home in the process. They brought new cultures with them but were also anxious to form part of the melting pot, merging those cultures to make America better. Learning English and blending into American culture while keeping their own languages and cultures intact was a point of pride. I hate it when people compare modern illegal aliens to the people depicted in this video. They're not the same at all.
"Give me your tired, your poor, ' with silent lips cries she: "your huddled masses yearning to breathe free'' "The wretched refuse of your teeming shore - Send these, the homeless tempest-tost to me; I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
Those who searched found a home . Those that didn't found refuge. America is what all of you made of her. She is what you searched for. Fight for what you found!Fight for what a country like this one is unique! She will protect your ideals.
I remember being a kid on holiday, I'm not sure if it was Cork, Kerry, or Galway but I remember being on a beach with my Da in front of the Atlantic and him saying "The next stop is America." That's always stuck with me. Now, it's easy to be cynical of this song but the way I interpret it is the people he's singing about are travelling to the IDEA of America. And for all the actual country's faults and flaws, that idea really did change the world. I don't believe that America as it is now is what the Founding Fathers envisioned. And that's good. Because it means it's still ahead of them.
Holy throwback Thursday indeed . This song is a tribute to my Colombian parents who came to the US with 5 children to Miami Florida to escape poverty and maintain the ability to bare more children . And that my father did with 10 more and raising 15 children 9 with my mom and 6 with his second wife . He worked his life away so they can get all 15 of us through not only high school but university and an impressive 3 attorneys in the land of the free . Where the 10th child now a full lived once millionaire adult from success in sales met a current time immigrant that well disguised himself as someone who fell in love and married to what most would see as a love story that was “way to good to be true “ where in fact it was the opposite of its entirety . The new wave of criminals making it thru the system of US immigration as a fraudster , conman, psychopath and stealing the american dream from the ones that worked a lifetime to be stolen everything attached to the soul and value of property, assets and family is real and happening more than you think is happening and soon to more you know or can admit you know . Incredibly nearly 5 years of being emotionally blackmailed into a crazy text book guide to dismantling an American and destroy my family from a criminal out of Colombia . A stranger that knew me before meeting me set up a trap I have no control of and took everything I have from behind my back . Convinced me of being the love of my life loosing my everything purposely for his gain and I not know any of it until he leaves me in 2019 and still to this date struggle surviving from the rope that is our new civil war in AMERICA . Criminal immigrants and corrupted judges, law enforcements and attorneys who ALL engage in Kafka traps to gain on the budgets of programs ( VAWA) that incentivize this immoral behavior of coercion control is just another example of how what happened to Britney Spears can happen in terns and laws of IMMIGRATION. Except she took on this abuse for 13 years even to now one only wonders what strength she had to fight back to finally be heard for justice to be made to regain her freedom . In this same type of control using the loop holes of the court system to defy our constitution rights to defend ourselves now thousands are living proof that the system is so corrupted we are ready and willing to share our story . So that if anything it can save the future of the thousands of innocents victims of immigration marriage and benefit fraud that poisons in the future of this country . This terrorist attack is happening and will effect far more Americans than 911 if we continue to ignor the power we have as a society and community to change and correct this law that allows false allegations of domestic violence be used with no evidence but a criminals statement and self petition to do so secretly and get away with nearly murder. The dirty little secret America holds back from facing up to is thru our own policy’s that allows such devastation on so many innocent lives. Congress needs to address this epidemic sooner than later or at least as long as I can live to see change happen to survive such abuse on mind, body , health and spirit as born a human citizen of the united states of AMERICA.

Thank you for bringing your strength, talent, and wisdom here to enrich our country.
My people came from eastern europe and ireland. We are here thank God!
So glad you and your family are here. Mine came to escape the Holocaust. It seems that immigrants appreciate this country more than people who are born here and keep protesting it. I'm really scared for our future.
The decision to use old films was very creative. Well done!
One of my all-time most favorite songs. It never fails to make my heart swell with pride. God Bless America!
Happy July 4th, 2022. Agree, God Bless 🇺🇸 America 🇺🇸.
A powerful statement of what America is all about the land of opportunities a dreamer will always be welcome here ❤
SAME HERE.
proud for what its a fake country
I was truly blessed to have been born in America.
Same here I THANK GOD 😊
I was truly blessed to have not been born in America.
@@BlastbeatsLOL We in America were truly blessed that you weren't born here also. Take your hate someplace else.
Me too! Since the 1600s on my mother's English side. Both my grandparents of my father's French side were immigrants - one from Canada and one from France. They met here.
Amen.

This song has always given me goosebumps!
Me too!!!!

America where are you? We need you now! Pray 🙏🙏🙏
Best song ever to blast on a good stereo and no neighbours around.
I want neighbors aroun
I want lots of neighbours A while back I thought my neighbour was an a hole. Then on Thanksgiving this song came out of his stereo then he was not an a hole
The U.S. might not be "perfect" - but i never thought America WASN'T Great.
America is the ideal. The US is reality.
How did we forget to BE this?
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.” - Ronald Reagan
I forgot how beautiful this song was! Happy birthday, America!
Listening to this anthem was the most awesome way to celebrate America's birthday.
It really burns me how so many people, particularly young Americans, can tear down and protest this country, just nitpicking for every flaw they can find. Foreigners and citizens have more knowledge and appreciation for the USA than people who were born here. It's a sad statement on modern generations.
What a phenomenal video!! I’m proud to be an immigrant. We are so fortunate to live in the US.

My grandfather came through Ellis island in 1914 from Greece. They said his last name was too long. He used the Greek name for grace for his last name. I live in
Bakersfield, California
I have two brother-in-laws living in Bakersfield
I have to think that he chose "grace" for his last name because he had it even though those who said his name was too long clearly didn't. You have clearly benefited from your grandfather's grace. Could you please tell me what the Greek word for grace is?
My grandparents came from Ireland at that time
Still the greatest country on earth... Freedom is worth fighting for!
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!🇺🇸🗽🥳
I think at 21 seconds it looks like my father when he was young! Great video..so much hope in america back then ..and now??? Hopefully we will return to hopefullness as a nation

Bienvenido
My late maternal grandfather came from Oslo, Norway after World War I when he was in the Norwegion Merchant Marine, he went to visit his aunt & uncle in the Bay Ridge section of the Borough of Brooklyn to visit, he worked for his uncle in his uncles bakery, learned English. He went home to visit his parents, when he go back to the U.S. at Ellis Island he had found out he was an illegal alien and he didn’t know till he was told. He had 2 options which were go back to Norway or go to Canada, he chose Canada where me met my late maternal grandmother in Niagara Falls, Ontarion,Canada.

I married my late wife in 1979. We stayed married 31 years.
I want this America, again. Immigration is what has made our country beautiful. Let's get back to it!!! We've all been instrumental in the making of this country!! Let's not demantle all we have accomplished!!!!!!
Legal controlled immigration.
We still are this America
We have never stopped. We welcome more than one million immigrants to the United States every year.
But there is a limit to how many immigrants we can welcome at one time. Immigration has to be orderly and manageable. It has to be secure. Not just for Americans, but for the immigrants as well.
How much good would we be doing the immigrants who come here if there are no jobs for them? If there isn't enough housing for them?

@@stacymar684 Good thing Native Americans didn't place these "limits" when we whites STOLE this land from them. This is BS. We have no more right to this land than anyone other than Native Americans do.
I came in a boat exactly the year this song was made.
This is heartbreaking to watch and listen!
I just love this song!!!
What absolutely amazing video forage!!
Note in all these clips how happy these people are. They're coming over on boats and ships, wanting to make a better life for themselves, but also improving their new home in the process.

On behalf of the entire Indian nations. Fucking welcome to America
And these people did it LEGALLY!
America, the greatest country in the world!
This beats what we all sang.first thing on the morning while.in.elementary school
"Give me your tired, your poor, ' with silent lips cries she: "your huddled masses yearning to breathe free''
"The wretched refuse of your teeming shore - Send these, the homeless tempest-tost to me;
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
Great Video 🏆
Still true today
People coming from everywhere make US their home
i love this contry i love estados unidos .siempre estaremos en la cima del mundo .
Awesome! Love it. My dad and family escaped Nazi Germany and came to Ellis Island in 1940
My grandparents did the same. This song hits me hard
You're an American now.😊❤😊❤
wow thats crazy! Good for them!
Wonderful!!!
My grandparents escaped British rule of Ireland
Great vid.altho de have a border problem.given a chance. Theress nothing we cant fix
Those who searched found a home . Those that didn't found refuge. America is what all of you made of her. She is what you searched for. Fight for what you found!Fight for what a country like this one is unique! She will protect your ideals.
Mine came from Ireland we all love him

Those people could be my grandparents. I found my mother's maiden name and my maternal grandmothers name on the immigrant records.
all are welcome.not just who you think are worthy
On the boats and on the planes, and crawling under the razor wire, they coming to America!
Ww3 2023-2024 A.D.😢😇

Where the 10th child now a full lived once millionaire adult from success in sales met a current time immigrant that well disguised himself as someone who fell in love and married to what most would see as a love story that was “way to good to be true “ where in fact it was the opposite of its entirety . The new wave of criminals making it thru the system of US immigration as a fraudster , conman, psychopath and stealing the american dream from the ones that worked a lifetime to be stolen everything attached to the soul and value of property, assets and family is real and happening more than you think is happening and soon to more you know or can admit you know .
Incredibly nearly 5 years of being emotionally blackmailed into a crazy text book guide to dismantling an American and destroy my family from a criminal out of Colombia . A stranger that knew me before meeting me set up a trap I have no control of and took everything I have from behind my back . Convinced me of being the love of my life loosing my everything purposely for his gain and I not know any of it until he leaves me in 2019 and still to this date struggle surviving from the rope that is our new civil war in AMERICA .
Criminal immigrants and corrupted judges, law enforcements and attorneys who ALL engage in Kafka traps to gain on the budgets of programs ( VAWA) that incentivize this immoral behavior of coercion control is just another example of how what happened to Britney Spears can happen in terns and laws of IMMIGRATION. Except she took on this abuse for 13 years even to now one only wonders what strength she had to fight back to finally be heard for justice to be made to regain her freedom .
In this same type of control using the loop holes of the court system to defy our constitution rights to defend ourselves now thousands are living proof that the system is so corrupted we are ready and willing to share our story . So that if anything it can save the future of the thousands of innocents victims of immigration marriage and benefit fraud that poisons in the future of this country . This terrorist attack is happening and will effect far more Americans than 911 if we continue to ignor the power we have as a society and community to change and correct this law that allows false allegations of domestic violence be used with no evidence but a criminals statement and self petition to do so secretly and get away with nearly murder. The dirty little secret America holds back from facing up to is thru our own policy’s that allows such devastation on so many innocent lives. Congress needs to address this epidemic sooner than later or at least as long as I can live to see change happen to survive such abuse on mind, body , health and spirit as born a human citizen of the united states of AMERICA.
